So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

What a wonderful world indeed!

This classic is turning up in music blogs lately due to this sweet edit pulled together by Swiss producer, Mercury.

This takes me back to my wedding day earlier this year when my father performed his own rendition of “Sunny” by Marvin Gaye. In his youth, he spent days locked in his room learning to play his guitar and hadn’t even played for an audience outside of family… until that day. It was very touching to witness him finally take the spotlight and he put on a really great performance! So proud of him!

You only get what you put in.

Where I want to be.

If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough.

The ancient capital of the Khmer kingdom, Angkor is a spectacular landscape of crumbling stone reliefs, great towers, encroaching jungle roots, orange-clad monks and spectacular sunset reflections. Stretching across some 400 sq km, including forests and jungles, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the Khmer Empire dating from the 9th to the 15th century. Angkor Wat, is believed to be the largest religious structure in the world, and there are many other fascinating temples to explore as well. 

Just one of the many extraordinary places we plan to visit as we travel through Southeast Asia.
